This is not good. the fact is these "gold sink" mounts are supposed to be GOLD SINKS, not some sort of "buy one and all toons have it" mount.

I don't know about other people but I at least am far more likely to dump large amounts of gold on a mount if I know it'll be account wide, than if it isn't. Even if they hadn't made this change, I would still only buy it once, for my main. There is nothing bad about this change, it merely lifted a silly and unnecessary restriction.

Pretty much exactly what I said one page back. I couldn't agree more.
Not everyone has large amounts of gold lying around, but people are more likely to grind for these 'gold sink' mounts if they're account wide. I knew a lot of people that just said screw it when they originally had these mounts on the ban list. Now that the ban is lifted on them, they're going to get these mounts.

I'm not too into the Curse video thingy, but I do think Pico is cute as hell. I've probably never watched a single episode from start to finish and from what I've gathered, she's really not that good with it, but there are worse actors/casters out there. Bottom line, the whole news thing is relatively trivial to me but don't say such things of people, especially when they are as unfounded as your claim is.

1000 people buying a 5000g mount once is better than 100 people buying a 5000g mount five times, though. If a mount only needs to be bought once, more people are likely to fork over gold for it.

It'll be a more effective goldsink for the server economy, less of a gold sink for the ultra-rich characters. I suppose they have the BMAH to take care of the ultra-rich, and account-wide mounts to take care of the semi-rich.

Im less likely to "Sink" gold into a mount if I have to buy multiples of it. Now that I only need to buy ONE I might actually blow some gold on these mounts. If t hey did not make these account wide I would have just horded my gold to spite their efforts to funnel some gold.

I had a chance to watch all 3 of the bosses available for testing to this point on both Nik's feed and Affinitii's. Stone Guard is undertuned, Spiritbender overtuned, and Spirit Kings seems to be just right. Can't wait to see how the next phase of testing goes later today.
